Has anyone here ever taken spironolactone with the birth control pill? I'm weighing my options as I am on my 3rd week of spironolactone and have seen slight improvement but still a lot of cystic acne. The pill I took used to bust out my cystic acne but made me moody. I might get back on it since things are looking so bad on my face. I know you can take the two together I just don't know anyone who has done it or if it would be worth it to just wait out the spironolactone until month 3 to give it a fair shake until introducing the pill to the mix...
It's very common to take the pill and spiro together, especially as spiro can sometimes mess with your cycles. So I would personally go for it, but make sure it's a pill the helps acne rather than makes it worse! (eg. high estrogen + antiandrogen like Diane, Yaz, etc.) Also, although I saw some improvement on spiro in the earlier months, it didn't start really working properly for me until months 6-8. It was a long drawn out process, so anything that can help it along a bit would be a good thing in my book.
